More Power???


Is there a way to wire two separate amps in series or parallel in order to achieve more power from the two combined???? It seems from reading that this is possible. If so, will the combined power be a simple addition of the two???

Assuming we are dealing with identical amps, would it not be better to bridge each into a mono amp? In such a case the power would be more than doubled. Someone more technically astute than me could explain why and how much power would then, at least theoretically, be available. I am not certain bridging is always feasible though. Sounds like what you are attempting is more like bi-amping, which can be done with a number of speakers; again this requires two identical amps and speakers that can be bi-amped (the crossover actually being in two sections that can be disconnected). Again someone with a better technical background than mine would be called for.
